Overall, Clear Channel now operates 16 digital signage networks in 14 DMAs, having added 76 new displays in 2007 alone. Source> Building B Raises $17.5mm for Integrated Set-top Box VENTUREBEAT Building B, a technology startup, raised USD17.5m funding to develop an integrated set top box, which will combine TV services with VoD and online video offerings. The round was led by Morgenthaler Ventures, with participation from Index Ventures, Omni Capital and various angel investors. The company claims the set top box will combine these services without the need for a PC, by using wireless technology. Although little is known about the mechanics of the box, analysts suggest that information may also be passed using airwaves, which would suggest the need for a lease of partnership to gain access to them. Co-founder Phil Wiser hopes that the public will find the one box does all approach refreshing. No indication has been given as to the pricing of these sets, although a release in Q3 has been given. However, this market is already bustling with offerings from Motorola, Apple, Vudu and Cisco all in the pipeline, which means Building B will have to act fast to gain appeal and market presence.
